10A: Education Program

My midterm video project was about the Education Program here at SCSU.  I want to major in Early Childhood Education so I thought that this would be a great topic for me to choose.  While doing this project I found out useful information that I didn't know before about the program.

The length of my video came up a little bit short of five minutes.  I should have added more information or added a longer video interview.  Other than the length I hit all of the requirements for this assignment.   I interviewed many people and included three in my video, including one of my professors.  I am so glad I got to interview a professor and hear their point of view about the field of education.  I tried to interview some of my other professors but a lot of them didn't want to be on video.  That’s why I chose my interview with Mrs. DiMauro.  I think it made it much more effective with a live video rather than just using text.

The strongest point of my video in my opinion is my music and transitions.  I tried to grasp the attention of my audience with the music. I used something upbeat to start it off so that it was exciting.  At the end I slowed the music down and faded it out to make a clear ending to my video.  I also used many different slide transitions to help make my video flow together instead of looking choppy and unfinished.  I would probably give myself a B or B- for this video project because I could have added more information and longer interviews to fill up more time.  I had no problems with uploading or finishing my video on time. I made sure that I finished it a few days in advance so that my last couple of days was just spent on polishing and finishing it up.  I made sure I had a clear beginning, to catch the viewers’ attention, a middle portion, with lots of information and interviews, and an ending, which summed it up and had credits.
